12.9 Workspace

• You can save the workspace (all objects in the environment for the current session) with the save.image function:

# save all objects in file "Module2.RData"
save.image(file="Module2.RData")

You can then restore the environment with the load function:

load(file="Module2.RData")

• If you want to save only selected objects, you can do it with the save function:

a <- 1:10
k <- "test"
e <- c(10, 21, 32)
# save object a in "objecta.RData"
save(a, file="objecta.RData")
# save objects a, k and e in "objects.RData"
save(a, k, e, file="objects.RData")

And restore save data sets using the same load function:

# load back
load(file="objects.RData")
